After Aza is made lady-in-waiting, she discovers a magic mirror that has the power to make her the fairest in the land. She has a stunning singing voice (something prized among her fellow Ayorthaians), and she has the ability to throw her voice, so that it appears that someone else is singing (a talent that comes in handy when the vocally challenged queen is asked to sing in public). However, Aza possesses two special gifts and when, through a series of events, she winds up in the royal court, her talents draw notice. In fact, she is so unsightly that her loving innkeeper parents (who found Aza abandoned as a baby) keep her hidden from most of their guests. Fifteen-year-old narrator Aza is anything but pretty. , Levine gives a visionary rendering of the Snow White tale that challenges conventional ideas of beauty.
In an alluring companion novel that some readers may argue even surpasses Ella Enchanted
